The Netherlands is an appealing destination for some visitors from São Tomé and Príncipe, thanks to its famous canals, tulip fields, windmills, and historic cities. Its unique combination of urban sophistication and rural charm attracts millions of tourists annually.
The Netherlands is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from São Tomé and Príncipe. It ranks 9th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night. Additionally, the Global Peace Index places the Netherlands 18th among 160 countries worldwide, indicating a stable environment. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in the Netherlands is significantly lower, at 0.7 per 100,000 people, compared to 3.3 in São Tomé and Príncipe. The Netherlands also has a lower incidence of female murders (0.4) compared to São Tomé and Príncipe (0.0). However, organized crime indices show that the Netherlands faces challenges with crime networks and drug trafficking, scoring higher than São Tomé and Príncipe in these areas. Despite this, the overall safety perception remains positive for tourists.
